It is possible that the CIA managed to install the system on the handset units.

The shared information likewise revealed that the intelligence agency might had redirected the shipments of the units and installed the program.

As quoted by fortune.com, the anti-secrecy organization likewise stated that, "While CIA assets are sometimes used to physically infect systems in the custody of a target it is likely that many CIA physical access attacks have infected the targeted organization's supply chain including by interdicting mail orders and other shipments (opening, infecting, and resending) leaving the United States or otherwise."
